OBJECTIVES: We investigated the usefulness of machine learning artificial intelligence (AI) in classifying the severity of ophthalmic emergency for timely hospital visits.
PURPOSE: Ischemic priapism is a urological emergency that requires prompt intervention to preserve erectile function. Characteristics that influence escalation to surgical intervention remain unclear. We identified factors and developed machine learn...

BACKGROUND: Emergency departments (ED) are a portal of entry into the hospital and are uniquely positioned to influence the health care trajectories of older adults seeking medical attention. Older adults present to the ED with distinct needs and com...
PURPOSE: Patient age has important clinical utility for refining a differential diagnosis in radiology. Here, we evaluate the potential for convolutional neural network models to predict patient age based on anterior-posterior chest radiographs for i...
PURPOSE: Natural language processing (NLP) can be used for automatic flagging of radiology reports. We assessed deep learning models for classifying non-English head CT reports.
